  Dear Mrs. Anthony,

  I used to be in the same crew as your husband and

  I used to be very friendly with him. Before we went into action we used

  to promise one another that if anything happened to any of us we would write

  and let our people know. I was very found of your husband as he was such a 

  straight-forward man and so very nice to live with. I had been in action with 

  him several times and I can assure you that he was as brave and cool a 

  man in action as ever I have met. I wish I could have done something to 

  help him but he and another driver were killed almost directly we were hit. 

    Our Tank was hit four times in rapid succession. I think everyone in the

  Coy, liked your husband and were all very sorry when he was killed. I am 

  sure that I shall remember him as long as I live, along with the other driver, 

  as they were the two men that I liked best, amongst the many that I have

  met with in the Army.  I think your husband was a religious man as he was 

  always anxious to attend the services which our Padré used to hold on Sunday 

  evenings when possible, and I used to go with him. He was killed on the 24th 

  of Sept., at a small village called Flesquieres, near Cambrai, and is buried

  in a cemetery there. I must conclude now, wishing you to accept my 

  sincerest sympathy in your great loss.

  From yours Sincerely.

  A. Rendell.
